Explanation:It´s beautiful to see this. It truly brings us great satisfaction. This is definitely a total victory for us, because we are giving it to him where it hurts. (OR - we are kicking him in the balls - depends on how vulgar you want to be)And we are not just kicking him in the balls - you can get over that!But this? This you (they) can´t get over.

Explanation:> It's a beautiful thing for us to see this. Seriously. Since it's total victory for us, because it's a tremendous blow that we are giving them. And not just in the liver, eh? Because they will overcome a blow to the liver. But this, they can't overcome.

Explanation:"low blow" nor "below the belt". It can be an excruciatingly painful blow but the boxer is supposed to know enough to keep the opponent's fist out of that area. I assume the blow was somewhere else, like the testicles, which does not put the opponent out of the fight - but does require, by regulations recently approved, that he be allowed five full minutes to recover. So the speaker is probably referring to something out of the boxing realm: Striking with a deadly weapon. But, anyway, your problem with the translation ("golpe al hígado") is now probably resolved: "blow to the liver" or "punch to the liver" or "liver punch".
